That's too funny Spydr, I had no idea - I've never heard of them. I have heard of the Chapel of Love song though... If it's the song I'm thinking of my sisters and I used to lip synch to it with hairbrushes.

Mouse – that list is amazing – you are my idol.

This is fun…. I know I’m forgetting a few but here goes…

Zan - your list is amazing as well! I wished I'd seen Madonna, when she was fun! We've seen a lot of the same shows.

The secret to my long list is that way, way, a long time ago, one friend worked at the big ticket agency (Ticketmaster), and one friend worked for a record label. Good friends to have!

Ray, OMG! You win, Dude! Hey, if you saw Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians, does that mean you are/were in the Dallas area? I used to see them all the time in Deep Ellum.

On the top of my wish list is The Eagles...DH and I have made a pact to see them, whatever the cost. Waiting on the Farewell Tour to come through Texas.

I bet Gwen Stefani was fun, Kimalicious, and the Black Eyed Peas were with her, weren't they? My wish list would have Prince and The Time on it!

(Bowing down) Ray is the Concert Master!

Cindy

Cindy - I think Ray works at the airport. Ray, didn't you tell us that in one of our Chat threads? And did you REALLY get to see the Beatles or is that really a list of things you wish you could see... I would be so jealous if you did.

I haven't been much of a concert-goer, although I love music and am seldom without it. I live in a world where there is always music playing, if only in my mind.

I was fortunate enough to see

Black Sabbath (with Ozzy) & Pantera

James Taylor

Billy Joel

The Stones

Kenny Loggins

Firefall (at a Taste of Beaverton - Howdy Oregon!)

And of course, we had to go to the Big Stink (6):

Stabbing Westward

There were others there that day; but I only remember actually seeing the above. It was a cultural experience.
